Wow mustangsherry that's really early...but it will all be worth it. The Cleveland Clinic won't even give a time until the day before. I'm with you though.. I have done lots of research and know the risks vs the benefits and I know this is the right decision for me. I have MS and my doctor said I will feel alot better after this too.

Who is your doctor at Cleve Clinic? I have Dr. Krohl on aug 29th!

When did they bring you in for all the bloodwork and surgeon visit before surgery?

Dr Schauer is my surgeon. My pre surgery appt is Wednesday. Have you seen the nut, psychologist and had the chest X-ray ekg and blood work yet?

Do any of u guys have to do a cross blood 2 days before surgery? I'm not doing any of my pre op testing until 2 days before since I live so far away...eek! Does anyone know what exact blood tests they do?

Ooh ok, I meant the pre-surgery appt then. I wondered when that would be. Yes, I have completed everything, am approved, and just waiting til Aug 29th (and whenever the pre-surgery appt is).

Good luck!!!

I am a self pay and didn't meet with a psychologist or the Nut yet (I know I will meet the Nut afterwards though). I did my CXR, the H. pylori test, and all the bloodwork already. Had to figure out how to get my insurance to pay for all that though! I pre register at the hospital on the 25th, and will find out then when I have to be at the hospital.

I'm so ready for this!!

My pre surgery appt is on the 25th. That appt is usually a couple days before your surgery. Did you request to wait that long for your surgery?

No, that was the date they gave me.
